RE: techwr-l Hourly vs Salaried

Ah! Ok, I was under the impression that it was a statewide thing.
Everything I've seen in quite a long time has included an at-will
statement--including the non-writing, non-exempt job I took for a while last
summer--so perhaps I was hasty in extrapolating that to every other job in
the state.
